With fertilizer prices continuing to be a significant input cost and the availability issues, it is increasingly important for producers to properly manage their agricultural inputs.  These programs have been designed to help producers understand the fertilizer soil relationships to achieve a greater return from an investment in fertilizer especially in this farm environment with the fertilizer issues.

The workshop will be presented by Dr. Lucas Haag, KSU NW Region agronomist and Fred Vocasek, Sr. Lab Servi-Tech agronomist along with local Extension Agents. Topics will include KSU research updates, Soil sampling, Fertilizer placement, Non-traditional P and N sources and Keeping fertility rates along with drought impacts along with a question and answer session.  So be sure and bring all your questions with you!
